14 reviews of Lotus Temple

Lotus Temple

This temple was built in 1980 and is the center of the Baha'i religion, a kind of philosophy based on respect and communication between various religions. Visiting is free, but it's strictly regulated (no shoes inside, only a few people in the temple at a time, and no noise). It's basically a guided visit since a person (who invariably reminds you of the rules) tells a little history of the religion and temple, before inviting you go to meditate. The entire tour takes around 30 minutes and of course you can stay longer to explore the gardens or meditate.

A place of meditation

Excellent

The Lotus Temple is primarily a place of meditation, regardless of your spiritual orientation. With its unique architecture, the temple symbolizes spiritual fulfillment through the symbol of the lotus flower. You must enter barefoot and it's a place where anyone can come to find sanctuary and quiet.

Freedom Temple

I visited the Lotus Temple during a trip to India around two years ago. I organized a stopover in New Delhi and had the lovely opportunity to visit this home of the Bahá'i faith, a group that focuses on free religious thought. The feeling of peace I found there was indescribable.

Lotus temple represents the idea of oneness of god

Excellent

spiritual center of faith Bah 'in India

Centro espiritual de la fe Bahá'í en la India

Excellent
Si te cansas de los fuertes, tumbas y templos jainistas del norte de la India, una de las visitas más hermosas y gratificantes que puedes hacer es al Templo de Loto en Nueva Delhi, una maravilla de la arquitectura moderna y el centro espiritual de la fe Bahá'í en la India. El templo en sí evoca una flor de loto en ciernes, construido en un deslumbrante mármol blanco y rodeado de piscinas de color azul cielo y amplios jardines. El interior es casi austero en su simplicidad - un lugar obviamente diseñado para la meditación y la reflexión personal, y no para ser un símbolo de la grandeza de su constructor. Para mí, visitar el Templo del Loto fue como una peregrinación - siempre he estado fascinado por el sistema de creencias Bahá'í y por este templo único y evocador que había visto tantas veces en fotos. Fuimos justo al atardecer lo cual tiene sus ventajas y desventajas. En el lado positivo, la vista de la puesta de sol detrás del templo a medida que nos acercábamos fue indescriptible - yo estaba casi aturdido de emoción. En el lado negativo, el templo se cierra justo después del atardecer, así que la visita fue algo de prisa y no permiten que los visitantes anden en los jardines y exteriores del templo libremente, así que te sugiero llegar allí un poco antes para explorar el lugar tranquilamente. El templo está situado en un exuberante parque verde y está a poca distancia a pie del templo ISKON (Hare Krishna), así tendrás una tarde completa. ¡100% recomendado!
If you get tired of the forts, tombs and Jain temples in northern India, one of the most beautiful and rewarding visits you can do is to Lotus Temple in New Delhi, a marvel of modern architecture and the spiritual center of faith Bah in India. The temple s evokes a lotus flower budding, built in a dazzling white marble and surrounded by pools of blue sky and large gardens. The interior is almost austere in its simplicity - obviously a place designed for meditation and personal reflection, and not to be a symbol of the greatness of its builder. For me, visit the Lotus Temple was like a pilgrimage - I've always been fascinated by the belief system Bah 'and this unique and evocative temple that had seen so many times in pictures. We went right at sunset which has its advantages and disadvantages. On the positive side, the view of the setting sun behind the temple as acercbamos us was indescribable - I was almost giddy with excitement. On the downside, the temple is closed just after sunset, as the visit was something of a hurry and do not allow visitors to walk in the gardens and exterior of the temple freely, so I suggest you get all a little early to explore the place quietly. The temple is located in a lush green park and is within walking distance of ISKON temple (Hare Krishna), as You'll have a full afternoon. 100% recommended!

Inside a lotus

Dentro un fior di loto

Il Tempio del Fior di Loto è inevitabilmente bianco, colto nell’atto di schiudersi al mondo. Posizionato all'interno di un parco recintato, fu completato nel 1986 e vuole esprimere l'essenza della filosofia bahai, basata sulla pace universale e sul superamento dei pregiudizi. I fedeli di ogni religione possono infatti recarvisi per pregare o per meditare in silenzio e in un luogo accogliente: al suo interno è severamente vietato fotografare e parlare!
The Temple of the Lotus is inevitably white, caught in the act of unfolding in the world. Placed inside a fenced area, was completed in 1986 and wants to express the essence of philosophy Baha'is based on universal peace and overcoming prejudices. The faithful of all religions can in fact go there to pray or meditate in silence and in a friendly place: inside is strictly forbidden to photograph and talk!

Este original templo que desde el cielo se ve como una flor de loto acoge a fieles de todas las religiones, por eso es habitual ver caminar hacia su interior a personas que profesan diferente credos.

Ce temple de construction récente ...

Ce temple de construction récente (années 1980), est le centre de la religion Bahai, une sorte de philosophie basée sur le respect d'autrui et le dialogue entre les religions. Inutile de préciser d'où le temple tire son nom, mais il est utile de préciser que sa visite est gratuite, strictement réglementée (pas de chaussures à l'intérieur, nombre limité de personnes dans le temple, pas de bruits), et presque guidée, puisqu'une personne, après un bref rappel des règles fera un petit historique de sa religion et du temple, avant de vous inviter à aller méditer. Pas la peine de trop s'attarder, en 30 min la visite est bouclée, à moins que vous ne souhaitiez méditer quelques heures.
This temple recently built (1980), is the center of the Bahai religion, a kind of philosophy based on respect for others and dialogue between religions. Needless to say, where the temple is named, but it is worth noting that his visit is free, strictly regulated (no shoes inside, limited number of people in the temple, no noise), and almost guided, as a person, after a brief reminder of the rules will make a little history of his religion and the temple before inviting you to meditate. No need to spend too much time in the 30-minute tour is complete, unless you want to meditate for a few hours.
